Magic will be without Aaron Gordon (foot) on Thursday
Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (foot) will not play on Thursday versus the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Gordon is currently day-to-day with a bone bruise in his right foot, but head coach Frank Vogel doesn't expect him to miss the dunk contest because of it. Consider him questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. Jeff Green should push for 30+ minutes while Mario Hezonja possibly sees more run. Hezonja played 15 minutes in the second half after Gordon went down on Tuesday, but Green was absent due to the birth of his child.
Green costs the minimum $3,500 on FanDuel Thursday night, making him an attractive value play. Our models project him to record 12.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 3-pointers in 30.6 minutes versus Philadelphia.
